Structural & Functional Taping
Support, offloading and neuromuscular cueing so you can keep moving comfortably while your body heals.
Where structural & functional taping makes the difference.
The right taping technique can take load off a painful area, remind your body to move a better way and give you the confidence to keep doing the things you need to do while treatment progresses.
Ankles, knees and shoulders that need support while they recover.
Confidence and stability as you build back into training or match play.
Simple reminders to hold better position through the working day.
Offloading that helps you get through a busy stretch of work.
What a session looks like.
Structural taping uses rigid tape to support joints and offload injured tissue. Functional taping uses stretchy tape to cue better movement patterns and reduce pain during activity.
Your myotherapist starts with a real conversation about your history, your goals and how the pain behaves through the week, followed by hands on and movement assessment.
Your myotherapist chooses the technique based on your issue and what you need to get through in the coming days. Tape can stay on for up to a week and is applied at the end of your treatment.
We talk you through why we are using structural & functional taping for your presentation, what you can expect to feel and how it fits with the other tools we have.
You leave with two or three simple things to do between sessions so the change you feel today actually holds through the week.
Who it suits.
- Ankle, knee and shoulder injuries
- Return to sport after time out
- Postural cueing
- Managing pain through a busy work week
Part of a bigger plan.
Taping is almost always used as the finishing touch on a treatment session rather than on its own. It works well after remedial massage and dry needling, and alongside corrective exercise as you rebuild capacity. See more on the conditions we treat.
